you hoped that if you'd forget your memories

that they'd forget you too

you'd put a bandage on your aching spot

and that will make you feel good

i think someone should have told you that

this ain't the way it works

and that you have to work it out some day

you will, yeah



it takes you further everytime

it will make you sweat like hell

you just can't keep gnashing your teeth forever



won't cry, why wouldn't you

no, won't let them get to you

won't cry

and if anyone will try to tell you that

this ain't, no no

this ain't, no

it ain't the way it works

they're wrong, they're wrong, so wrong



well you've done enough to prove us all

won't let them get you down

but now i think the moment's here

to show yourself your weaknesses

i see you figured out by now

this ain't the way that things go

and the time has come to work it out

you will, yeah



it takes you further everytime

it will make you sweat like hell

you just can't keep gnashing your teeth forever



won't cry, why wouldn't you

no, won't let them get to you

won't cry

and if anyone will try to tell you that

this ain't, no no

this ain't, no

it ain't the way it works

they're wrong, they're wrong, so wrong (no, no, no, no)



you won't cry, won't cry, i know

you won't cry, won't cry, won't let them get to you

won't cry, won't cry, ooh no

you won't cry, yeah



you won't cry, why wouldn't you

no, won't let them get to you

won't cry

and if anyone will try to tell you that

this ain't, no no

this ain't, no

this ain't the way it works-acapo
